@Micki Pembroke and @Lois Winters We only have one Good Morning thread now after I merged the other with this. So good morning ladies.
Good Morning, folks! Didn't get one speck of snow last night-early this AM, that was being forecasted for us. Did drive thru Taco Bell last night for supper at home. Wife got somewhat sick on what she ordered, so no more Taco Bell for a long time-to-never again.
I am watching the leaves of my pair of maple trees for when they start to change color.. then I will post a pic here. Loving the milder autumnal weather. Pity we can not go outside to enjoy it. Usually during this season we have plenty of picnics and drives into the country. Not daring to barely leave our house at the moment.
Good morning everyone I was just about to turn to the sports page of my newspaper when I realized........it was going to be one of those days. I had a big mug of tea in my hand when the handle fell off, no, that's not correct, I had the handle in my hand, it was the mug that fell off the handle, and, true to 'murphy's law', the mug landed on my foot, not only hurting my toes, but giving them a sugary wash as well. Because I was in the communal lounge, and having respect for other users, I got down on my hands and knees to wipe the floor, big mistake, the getting down was the easy part, getting back up was much more difficult. So, after about four attempts to get back into my chair and by now feeling really irritated, I was just about to say, "Sod it" and stay put, when another resident entered the room and who could clearly see the dilemma I was in asked, "What are you doing on all fours?" "I'm auditioning for the part of Rin Tin Tin in that new movie, get over here and help me up", I said with a grin. We sat for a while and laughed at my daft adventure, then he toddled off out, so I thought, "Another mug of tea is needed badly." I looked inside the kettle and saw that there was plenty of water in it, flicked the switch......nothing happened. I plugged the kettle into another socket.....nothing happened. I plugged a can opener into both sockets and it worked in both sockets. Then I checked the fuse in the plug of the kettle, but that was OK, so frustrated, I looked for an open window so that I could lob the kettle into permanent orbit around the moon. Determined to have a cup of tea, I took a pan, emptied the water out of the kettle into the pan and put it onto the stove to boil. Thankfully, I managed to brew a pot of tea, I'm savouring it now, and my fingers are around the mug not through the bloody 'andle.
Hope everyone is being sensible and staying safe from this dreaded virus that has changed our lives. Great news for my country. The rate of infection is flattening due to recent stricter measures imposed.
